A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night. At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.

My cousin still has a cassette taped off the air that night. Right before the station cut out, there was a high-pitched carrier squeal.
